The Finance Committee is appointed each year to deal with all areas involving finances of the association to serve in the capacity of making any recommendations to the entire Board for their action. 

 

12.  Classification for Golf for 2001-2002

 

      There are three options:

 

(1)   Go to four classifications (A, AA, AAA, Division II) and four golf tournaments with same numbers qualifying from regions.  The problems are that this will increase expenses another $8,000 to $10,000 and four weeks of state golf tournaments.  This is difficult because of weather and getting golf tournaments and costs.

 

(2)   Go to four classifications, cut back on numbers qualifying so we have two weeks of tournaments.  This would primarily be felt on the negative side by AAA since we would decrease their numbers by 50% in order to add two tournaments in A and AA.

 

(3)   Remain with three classifications (AAA, A-AA, Division II), three tournaments and go to nine regions in A-AA by making Region 7 into two regions and qualifying winning team and top three individuals from each region.  Presently, we qualify winning team and top four individuals.
